These numerical keypad chairs might not be very practical in their intended configuration. Maybe in your home theater room during viewings parties of The Office, or in the waiting room at an accountant’s office.

Movie posters can be hit or miss, but the Batman franchise has a long (slightly tarnished) history of greatness. Two weeks before the latest film entry, there’s another poster for the (art) history books.
Google searches have yet to surrender the name of the poster artist … maybe you know the artist? Maybe you are the artist?
The Cereal Killers blog is a precursor to a book of the same name, and both are chock full of chilling, morbid, and absurd parodies of classic cereal boxes. It’s a proven formula: take a catchy name, add some exclamations, hype the prize inside, and a hang it all on the allure of a grinning mascot.
If a cartoon bee/frog/bear/lumberjack is excited, it must be delicious. Or in this case, just super entertaining.
The latest winner of World of Creative Possibilities 2 is Luis E. Saldana, whose entry Fact or Fiction won top marks in June. For questioning everything from the Garden of Eden to the moon landing, to that time a rapper fought a giant robot... Luis will receive a $100 gift certificate for Veer merch.
New for July... now you can build worlds in fantastic Pals Mode! You've already met Kernie, and now you can outfit your world with the entire cast of this year's summer activity book.
The next winner will be announced at the end of July, so get building and remember to vote often!
After an early lead in the voting, it came right down to the wire for the latest Lightboxing battle.
Although both fighters averaged a healthy 4 out of 5 score, Tom Huveners of Belgium tipped the balance over Katie Canada of Missouri by just a couple of votes.
Congratulations Tom! You’ll receive a $250 Veer gift certificate to spend on Veer Merch or whatever you like.
Stay tuned for the next Lightboxing event, and thanks to everyone who voted.

The 2008 summer activity books have been stamped and stacked and are ready to mail. While you wait for yours … meet Kernie.
In the past, we’ve asked you to snap photos of the far-flung places you toted your activity books, and the response has always been epic. You took them places even the loneliest of guide books dares not go.
This year, we’re giving you Kernie — a trusty sidekick to take on your adventures — and the Kern the Planet photography contest. Take photos of Kernie and you could end the summer right, with two armfuls of sweet, sweet merch.
The internet is a beautiful and cluttered sea that renews itself with each wave of commentary and exposition. Amongst the rubble and rabble, the jostling and jockeying for attention, there are curious, eloquent, and inspiring gems to find and to covet. This post is not one of them.
But, if you click through to BLDG BLOG, you may find yourself swept up in Geoff Manaugh’s post about the Taipei 101 building’s inner workings. What starts as hard science quickly swirls off into an imaginative, near-poetic indulgence.
“ … there’s something about discovering a gigantic pendulum inside a skyscraper that makes my imagination reel. It’s as if the whole structure is a grandfather clock, or some kind of avant-garde metronome for a musical form that hasn’t been invented yet … ”
